Hi,
currently I am trying to replace our self-made backup hacks with an
Amanda solution. We are using vtapes only, no physical tape drives involved.
The backups should be asymetrically encrypted (with amcrypt-ossl-asym)
and compressed on the client. This works fine so far. But when I try to
restore files using amrecover, it warns: "gzip returning exit status 2".
The restore itself seems to work, but those warnings should not appear
in a productional environment, imho.
Further investigations in the logs showed that gzip complains about the
data it gets from amcrypt-ossl-asym: "gzip: stdin: decompression OK,
trailing garbage ignored".
I tracked down the problem to the amcrypt-ossl-asym script itself. In
the simple test case
$ echo "foo" | amcrypt-ossl-asym | amcrypt-ossl-asym -d
the output is not simply "foo" (as expected), but "foo" with some binary
data append. The symmetrical version amcrypt-ossl works fine, btw.
I am using Amanda release 3.1.2 and OpenSSL 0.9.8 with the aes-256-cbc
cipher in amcrypt-ossl-asym.
Has anybody experienced or even solved similar problems? Any
workarounds? Or am I just overlooking something obvious?
Thank you in advance,
Peter
